What if?

A blog that answers absurd questions by doing the math.

Every post bottoms out in a kernel-checked Lean 4 theorem. Zero unchecked axioms. The calculation is the post. One question per theorem, one theorem per question.

  • When output outruns labor.
    American unemployment is rising. Corporate profit margins are at a record. The math that makes both true at once.

The shape

Each post starts with a concrete, absurd, calculable hypothetical. The kind a child asks and an adult waves away.

The answer is the calculation. Numbers, not adjectives. The calculation bottoms out in a real Lean 4 theorem from the corpus. The theorem is the receipt.

Every post ends with #print axioms. Clean, or oh no.
